Title: Steering Wheel Resto. Post by: Stash on April 30, 2012, 02:59:34 PM Hi all,
Has anyone used POR15 /KBS top coats on an original steering wheel? ??? Seems a logical paint being polyester, super hard and flexible. interested in opinions. Title: Re: Steering Wheel Resto. Post by: graham_fuller on April 30, 2012, 11:09:17 PM Yes i have used Por15 on a steering wheel. You just need to use a clear coat over it that is UV stable.
Works a treet. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Steering Wheel Resto. Post by: Stash on April 30, 2012, 11:16:16 PM Cheers graham.
Was thinking the Kbs top coat might be the way, as it is Uv stable. Title: Re: Steering Wheel Resto. Post by: ardiesse on May 01, 2012, 08:48:59 PM Stash,
I've used ordinary acrylic lacquer on Holden steering wheels without problem. The main thing is to put quite a few coats of paint on the rim of the wheel so it doesn't rub through over time. And as for cracks - there isn't much you can't fix with a die grinder and bog. Rob Title: Re: Steering Wheel Resto. Post by: Brad on May 01, 2012, 10:00:03 PM I did a wheel for my FB years ago and filled the cracks with araldite after I openend them up a bit. Then filed / sanded the wheel smooth and gave to a mate who painted it with 2Pac and it came up sweet as. The POR15 should work fine as it has a great finish and gloss so would look A1. Not sure about UV though.

used an epoxy 2-part putty.. (http://s17.postimage.org/91aogmsml/IMG_1679.jpg) Was looking at equivalent to POR15 but with UV.
